The LCO method is not for EVERYONE



I tried the LCO method on Big Sis yesterday... hmmm.. Her hair was dry dry! From my experience so far, I believe some people can do the LCO method and their hair can stay moisturized for a long period. Whereas, some other people need the LOC method to get that moisturizing factor. 

I remoisturized her hair with the LOC method this morning using Water - Oil mix - and SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing smoothie.. it was instantly soft. I will reassess her hair at the end of the day.

The lesson I learnt from this experience is that everyhead is different. You have to do what is best for your hair.  It is fun to experiment but once you see a problem, instead of continuing to use the same steps that do not work for you, revise it.

Happy Moisturizing!!

    Lol, true indeed. I am a LCO person myself, and can't get past the idea that the moisturizer is sealed out of the hair by the oil in the LOC method, but I've heard many people say it works well for them. I don't get it, but you have to do what works for you! ;-)

      Now that I have been doing the LCO method on myself and Lil Sis, I feel the same way. It's just weird that Big Sis's hair doesn't like it.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3. Minimize Heat Styling • Limit Heat Tools : Reduce the use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. • Use Heat Protectant : When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant to minimi
